Or you ask a question of your whole workspace and get an answer with links back to the pages it drew on.","what_it_is":["Notion AI is the AI woven into Notion, the all-in-one workspace for notes, docs, wikis, and databases. Rather than a separate chatbot, it lives inside your pages: it drafts and rewrites text where you're working, summarizes and translates, autofills databases, and — the standout — \"Ask Notion\" answers questions using your entire workspace (and connected apps) as the source, with newer agents that carry out multi-step tasks. It's for people who already keep their work in Notion and want AI grounded in their content. Under the hood it uses models from several AI labs, with an auto mode that picks one per task."],"before_you_start":["The big change to know: Notion removed the standalone AI add-on. Full Notion AI (Ask Notion, agents, AI meeting notes) now comes only with the Business plan, priced per user. The Free and Plus plans include just a small trial of AI — not a usable free tier. So while Notion-the-workspace has a great free plan, Notion-AI is effectively a paid feature.","If you don't already live in Notion, the AI's main advantage (grounding in your own workspace) only shows up once you've got content in there.","Try the free trial responses first to see if it fits before committing to Business."],"getting_set_up_safely":null,"security":[{"kind":"text","text":"On privacy, Notion is strong: it does not use your workspace content to train AI models, and its AI providers are contractually barred from training on your data — on all plans.
